5 and 1/2 gallons is equivalent to 44 pints, so the correct option is A.

How to perform a change of units?

In this problem, we need to write 5 + 1/2 gallons in pints.

To do it, we need to use the relation:

1 gal = 8 pints.

Then we can rewrite:

(5 + 1/2) gallons = (5 + 1/2)*(1 gallon) = (5 + 1/2)*(8 pints)

= 40 pints + 4 pints = 44 pints.

So (5 1/2) gallons is equivalent as 44 pints, then Sal should use 44 pints of the plant food.

Then the correct option is A.
